Dove and Chickadee are 7 week old female Shih tzu/Cairn terrier mixes. They are completely healthy, happy sweet extra fluffy girls who are ready to start their new lives in their PAWfect homes! Dove and Chickadee were born to Momma Birdie. Momma Birdie, Bogey and Mulligan were 3 stray dogs that were picked up by animal control, and thier time was up, All 3 dogs were facing euthanasia. Paws Rescue League Inc rushed to save them from being killed due to space. Once we placed Birdie, Bogey and Mulligan in foster homes, we learned Birdie was heavily pregnant, 2 days later she gave birth to 6 babies, Dove, Pipett, Wren, Sparrow, Chickadee and Finch. The same day Birdies 6 babies were born Mulligan passed away suddenly. We looked for a vet who would do postmordem testing so we could determin the cause of Mulligans passing, unfortunately no Vets in East TN offered this service. We had him cremated privately and gave him a propre goodbye. Due to his sudden passing we decided to have Bogey and Birdie tested for everything, and thoroghly examined by 2 vets. They were both positive for parvo. We now believe Mulligan was a young pup, and the illness was too far for him to survive. We began treating Bogey and Momma Birdie for parvo, they were monitored around the clock, got fluids each day, and we were told not to expect Birdies newborn babies to live. Sadly 2 weeks after they were born Pipitt passed away, 2 days later followed by Wren, a week later Sparrow and Finch passed away. Chickadee and Dove survived! We were heartbroken over the loss of 4 babies, and Mulligan, but so very happy some of her babies made it through, and are now completely healthy happy boucing bundles of joy! Dove and Chickadee are both ready to go to their furever homes next week! We are currently working on matching them with adopters!
